You know, the long messages when you leave a voicemail that say things like “To leave a message, speak after you hear the tone. When you’re done, you can hang up the phone” (oh really?). Why does this suck, besides the fact that it’s annoying? Those extra 15 seconds of airtime add up — for everyone (thanks to double billing, which charges you airtime for incoming and outgoing calls, even if you’re listening to a prerecorded advert call!).

Well first of all, Sprint users can disable that garbage*.

The others…

AT&T: They’re going to make some changes! (and iPhone users don’t have the long messages, for some reason)

T-Mobile: Post a complaint here: http://bit.ly/2rKy0u.
